[ｌｉｆｅ＇ｓ ａ ｂｉｔｃｈ ヅヴア [lofi]]

Damn I really like what you're trying to do with this. I would suggest some stronger drums tho, and also lower those crackles down a bit. Other than that, this is rather solid, especially the beginning.

Vyden responds:

im not a big fan of strong drums, they seem too aggressive, but thank you for the kind words :)

[Flying City (WIP)]

Oofu you're right about the mixing part, but I do like the feeling and the idea of this song tho ;)

Avrik responds:

Thanks for the feedback!

[Get there]

This song is pretty good if I were to say. It feels like I'm in this space adventure or something, and it's calming and nervewrecking at the same time. This is really gorgeous. But I felt like the kick in this song was too weak and didn't really stood out in the mix. That's all I have to say as it's pretty late at night haha. Great song!

Cursedsnake responds:

Nah I tried harder kicks; doesen't fit this track ;)
Thx!

[euphoria]

This song is so damn nice. It's actually comparable to that of old electronic music. [which is pretty nice] The way this is so detailed and all those sounds blend in together oh so smoothly. Also, it's a mix of genres I like, so that makes it even better. The vocals are pretty okay, but maybe you can try to make them a bit more robotic? It feels a bit weird for a normal human to sing this song, but that's just me. Overall, this is a wonderful song!

yunqatsi responds:

Thank you , it means a lot :)

[Dead Anchor]

Welp I feel like you added too much distortion on that bass of yours playing throughout the whole song, which made it a bit uncomfortable to listen to. Also, I think you need to add something like a pad or another sound [your preference, whether it compliments the main melody or it's just for atmosphere], because your song feels a bit empty. As for the drums, I can say that the rides and the open hats are a bit too loud. And maybe instead of having a kick to lead you into the drop at 1:50, why not use something along the lines of toms? Then, maybe change up the melody a bit at 1:53, because it's the same as :49 [correct me if I'm wrong] as it would sound repetitive. Everything else is ok I guess.

FYRDXGR responds:

Yeah i've been listening to it over the weekend and im going to add some minor tweeks. And your very right on the distortion lol

[Onieronaut]

Oh wow. I really like how detailed this song is. And the way all those sounds blend in together. Plus, it's a mix of almost all my favourite genres. Would've had some chances here and there in this song to create a great melody, but that's just me. But those rhodes [is that what you call it] at the beginning felt a bit muddy whenever it goes low. Maybe remove that heavy sub bass at the beginning and unfold it later on? That's all from me I guess, hope you create more stuff like this.

LLAAPPSSEE responds:

Thanks man. Still shaping it up, need to hit the forge again. Definitely a bit muddy, I plan on clearing it up a bit. The whole song started with that simple heavy sub, kinda got lost in it, till the guitar comes in.

[Saintstorm]

Hmmm... Decent, I guess. Really like those plucks at the beginning. I feel like you need a bassline for this, as I don't really feel one present except for the beginning, where the sub bass are present. [correct me if I'm wrong here] Drums are okay, really like the fast hats, although the snare feels a bit muddy, especially when it builds up at around :43. I feel like the way you used the vocal samples feel pretty lacking, as it's only used as atmosphere and not a part that's supposed to compliment the main melody after 1:51.

Snakewine responds:

Thanks for the detailed feedback! I put the sub-bass to drop but I think I failed to balance sounds and that make drop has not enough basses.

snare feels a bit muddy at 43: You're right, I have to make an idea how should I change buildup cleaner.

Vocal sample: I didn't know it would feel lacking, I'll try to use vocals as atmosphere after this track.

Again, thank you 100times for the feedback!

[Swallow Ash [0.1]]

This is a pretty solid track although it's "unfinished" [the only thing that's unfinished in my eyes is the fact that you probably didn't master it?] It feels like I'm in this abandoned but not that creepy place searching for something or someone. There's nothing to criticize here really. Though I would suggest adding some more ambient sounds in this song to enhance the atmosphere. [like the eerie numbers station recording at the beginning]

Chevrium responds:

thanks! layering on some more ambient effects, extending it by a little bit, and going over the mastering are basically the bullet point list of things i need to do to it at this point

[Deltarune - Fields of Hopes and Dreams (cover)]

I really like how you changed the style in this song to somewhat of a more junglish feeling with those drums. I also like how you mixed this track, as the mixing compliments the junglish feeling even further. What I personally don't like? Some of the decisions you made in this cover, such as 1:34, where all the instruments stop before being played one more time. If I were you, I could've kept the drums during that time and just let everything unfold. I would also give the piano some more jazz to it. [don't really know how to explain it but you get it] But hey, nice cover you got there!

AlbeGian responds:

Hey thank you for the recommendations! I had them in mind and updated the audio. Hope you enjoy!
